True, with the way Epl spends money, he should even be around 40m normally so asking for 10m shouldn't be an issue

Yea, it's not like only Depay did us a favor last summer. We did him a favor too giving him a chance to play for Barcelona who is leagues above Lyon.

But he did us a favor, he was the only forward that we could have got that summer, and he did it for low wages.

If he rejected us for bigger money at Juve who were also interested, imagine how bad we would have started the season then.

Maybe for the first 2-3 months. After Dembele was back and Aubamayang and Ferran were signed... his impact went down by a lot. He even struggled to make first 11.

But that was after January, we also got Ferran alongisde those two, plus Pedri also returned from injury.

Before January Memphis was a one man attack at Barca, playing with kids and bums. His transfer was worth it just for keeping us afloat in tha period.

Yeah, but even before those were signed, Memphis delivered big only in the first 5-6 games. After that his impact went down by a lot.

So, start was inspired and influential, but he fizzled out very fast. He is just not good enough to lead a big club.

Come on, 30m these days is on the low side.

We paid more for fecking Trincao.

Barto paid more, that is the difference. There is no fool like him at any other club, if there was, we would have sold Braithwaite and rest of the bums long ago.

We paid 20M in addition to Abel Ruiz, for someone who was 20 years old highly rated winger. Abel would have gone for free otherwise.
Depay is an attacker who failed to impress in 2 big clubs at the age of 28. No big club but Barca was after him when he was free agent.
Why people think it got better now than it was 1 year ago for him?

Depay came to Barca for Koeman. He signed on low wages for two seasons. I sincerely doubt he was offered big wages and significant role at some big club and he turned them down to come and save Barca. We gave him limelight of a big team leader under the coach who favoured him to try and earn big contract. Either with us or abroad. And he failed. Few solid friendlies don't change that.

I don't think Barca owes him anything.
